Ana:
I just got to open this up now. Thanks for sending this and the card. What a week it has been. I'm happy to report that we are all home now and except for a lack of sleep, we are all doing well. I ended up having Charles Eugene by C-section and then had to spend the next 5 days in the hospital while they tried to figure out why he was breathing erratically. They ran all sorts of tests on him (including a spinal tap) and the good news is that he just had some fluid in his lungs which he didn't get rid of as part of the birthing process. He is okay now and a true joy! Arthur and Bill have been a big help. It's nice to have someone around with me during the day. Arthur visited my parents right before Charles was born and had a great time. They spoiled him to death but I was thrilled that he made the trip there and wished we could do that more often. As for me, I hope to take from now until the end of the year off from work and then decide what I want to do. I'm looking forward to the extended leave even though most of it will be unpaid but it will be worth it and hopefully Charles will benefit from it. How are things with you? Have you seen the shore house? It is quite a place. I'm hoping that mom and sue will come for a visit in late August. Sue is Charles' godmother. Well I need to get back to the baby. stay in touch and thanks again for thinking of us. Pictures will come soon.
